Hair salon....

Maci came over to play.....

They destroyed the playroom playing dress up and babies and kitchen BUT that is ok, here is what I caught pictures of.....

Maci getting her hair dyed red...

And no we didn't cut Heidy's hair again, she has that much new hair at any given time!!!



I love the concentration on their faces

Eden was getting her hair dyed gray.. Why Gray??? I have no clue!!!

Look at what Heidy is using for hair dye.... a baby bottle!!

And finally Heidy was getting her hair dyed yellow like Gina's.... That is what Heidy says Gina's blond hair is.

They had a blast!!!! I loved hearing them play!!

Heidy's Pre School Graduation

OK I apologize in advance, there are a ton of pictures... :-)

It was the Spring program for Wee Kare Pre School.
It was Eden's first ever pre school program.
It was also Heidy's graduation.
It was an important night!!

I laughed, I cried, I was proud, I was happy, I was sad, I was excited and a little anxious!!


A western theme...


Before the program

Heidy's class singing "Our God is an Awesome God" and doing the motions.

Of course, they wanted to dress alike....

After the readoption was over, it only lasted 15 minutes!

FFF # 44 This week is Favorite photo....

This is probably my favorite picture in recent history!!! The day in the airport coming home from Ethiopia, in their big sister / little sister shirts!! They are truly sisters!!

But, Mady has stayed with us since Sunday. He dad got his new pancreas, after getting his new kidney 3 weeks ago!!

So the girls have had a blast.... All we needed was Maci and they would have reminded me of pictures I took a long time ago.

This is how they came to the table for dinner. Cute little dress up girls, huh?

Eden's Dedication and Mother's Day

We had Eden dedicated on Mother's Day! What better day could there be to do that?? There were several of us parents, who had little ones dedicated. This was at our 9:30 service.




Shhhh, we are praying...

We had a gentleman to come up to us and told us that he was studying, in his quiet time, about how we are adopted into God's family, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. He said when we walked up there with Eden and Heidy came up to, that he started crying, knowing that we loved those kiddos like God loved us and adopted us. He almost made me cry!!

After church, we went to Kentucky to my sister in law and brother's house. They had our family over and also her family. We had great food, a good time with everyone and the two little gals got to ride the 4 wheeler with their Uncle Mark. ( Yes, my brother and my hubby both are named Mark) Skyler didn't ride because of the surgery on her broken nose!!

Flying kites with Daddy....

Riding trikes....

And trying to ride the little jeep...

The two "gruff" dads...

Heidy on the 4 wheeler, Just so everyone knows, I am NOT a fan of them!!

Waiting her turn...

Eden's turn!

It was a great day!!! I am thankful to be the mommy of 5 great kids and 2 wonderful in law kids and one very special, beautiful, awesome granddaughter!!!
